Police arrested man in foiled Roxbury bank robbery

Police arrested a man in connection with a foiled bank robbery in Roxbury on Saturday.

Boston police said they received a call at 11:36 a.m. about a robbery at Citizen Bank on Washington Street.

A female bank manager told responding officers she saw a man holding a deposit slip with the words, "No dye pack," written on it, tightly against his chest with both hands as he approached her counter.

According to police, the manager told the man, "Hold on a minute. I just have to give this to another teller," and started walking away. The manager said the man told her, "I'll take that ma'am, come on, come on," and when she activated the alarm, the man turned and walked out of the bank.

Several hours later, police said an officer saw a man walking up Lenox Street toward Shawmut Avenue who fit the description given by the witnesses.
